<p>I am just a little concerned about my prospects for the future because my GPA is a 2.9 and am once again working for my local restaurant or something this summer instead of having a real engineering internship like some of my meche friends do. Do most umich mechanical engineers have internships going into their junior year?</p>
<p>Hard to say most or not. Many will, many won’t. Don’t worry too much about it, but make sure you find something next semester.</p>
<p>I’d say waiting tables at a restaurant would be your last resort.</p>
<p>There are plenty of other things to do besides that. You could do research for a professor, some type of non-engineering internship (better if business oriented), teach abroad, or summer classes in AA.</p>
